Co-founders, Joseph Quartana and Kaya Sorhaindo, launched Six Scents Parfums with Series One in 2008. Each year, the Six Scents Parfums fragrance initiative brings the experience of creativity with a conscience to the world through a collection of six unisex scents. Created by a distinct group of designers and perfumers, these limited edition fragrances are designed to represent a global range of contemporary views on creativity and culture. Through the designers’ concepts and the perfumers’ knowledge of fine fragrance, two artistic disciplines come together to create new perfume compositions and multi-sensory experiences

»We choose the rising stars of the fashion industry who will one day be big enough to have their own fragrance but who are too small to have it just yet. So we steal from the future and offer it now.« - Joseph Quartana (Six Scents Parfums Co-Founder & Collection Curator)

Six Scents: Series Three is an exploration into the nature of childhood memories and the influence of adolescence on identity. It features unisex fragrances from designers Alexis Mabille, Mary Katrantzou, Junn.J, Rad Hourani, N.Hoolywood, andOhne Titel in collaboration with perfumers from Givaudan. Each keepsake box contains an individually numbered bottle, an exclusive portrait by Robert Knoke and DVD with the Six Scents: Series Three documentary and short films exclusively commissioned from Alia Raza (story edited by Tavi Gevinson and starring Julia Restoin-Roitfeld), Rainer Judd, Olaf Breuning, Sue De Beer, Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard, Heather Sommerfeld, Tim Richardson, Lucas Michael and James Widegren. Each fragrance is offered in a limited quantity of 3.000 bottles and a percentage of proceeds will go towards War Child International, which works with children all over the world to reduce poverty, to provide education and to defend their rights.

Beginning in November 2010 and culminating in February 2011, global launch events for Series Three will be held in key cities including New York, Paris, Seoul, Paris and Beijing. In addition, a special outdoor sculpture and indoor video installation with artists Olaf Breuning, Heather Sommerfeld and Rad Hourani will be held at The Standard hotel, Miami Beach to coincide with Art Basel Miami Beach 2010. The films will premiere over the next few weeks on the Six Scents website and during Art Basel on The Standard Culture site.

»M was a collaborative project with Ohne Titel. Meeting Flora and Alexa, you are immediately struck by the level of ease, familiarity and cohesiveness of their conversation together. They build off each other’s ideas, sharing the same open vision. The same pattern translated for their choice of ingredients and the expression of the fragrance, they both gravitated to the same ingredients we smelled and built together. I started Oh My Deer with a core of leather and an animalic feeling. Alexa and Flora spoke about their rebellious side when growing up, night clubs and late outings, the feeling of warm, slightly sweaty skin. I tried to recreate their attention to intricate tailoring, architecture of design, their care of detail, all these very feminine aspects using these strong and signature materials like cardamom, safraleine, and leather.« - Yann Vasnier (Perfumer)
